Chapter 1460: Chapter 1460: Enraged, Black Flash
As he battled Lin Chen, Hei Huo felt increasingly stifled.
After fighting for almost an hour, he hadn’t managed to harm even a single strand of Lin Chen’s hair.
If this news reached the Black Yan Hall, he could forget about showing his face; he would undoubtedly be mocked to death alive.
After all, he had just bragged that he would kill Lin Chen, declaring that Lin Chen’s death was certain today.
"Kid, you’ve successfully angered me, so I’ll show you the true gap between us."
"Your combat power is strong, I admit that. To this day, you’re the strongest martial artist I’ve faced in the Nirvana Realm and even the Early Stage of the Creation Realm, but the gap between us isn’t something you can surpass."
Hei Huo looked at Lin Chen and laughed coldly and arrogantly.
Then, a purple aura suddenly emanated from Hei Huo’s body, incredibly powerful, and it expanded more and more until it enveloped his entire body.
Buzz—
The purple aura condensed into armor on Hei Huo’s body, adhering like snake scales.
"Purple Scale Demon Armor?!"
Lin Chen looked at the Purple Scale Armor on Hei Huo and felt a tightness in his heart.
Back during the second examination of the Yunlong Heavenly Palace, an insider from the Black Yan Hall had ambushed Lin Chen using this very cultivation technique.
This is a cultivation technique related to one’s physique, and once activated, it continuously consumes the demonic qi within, significantly enhancing one’s defensive and offensive power, a secret technique to boost combat power in the short term.
Boom—
After activating the Purple Scale Demon Body, Hei Huo’s speed and attack indeed increased significantly. Gripping the Demon Sword, his figure flashed in the air, leaving several afterimages, and then he aimed the next slash at Lin Chen’s head.
Seeing this, Lin Chen’s eyes immediately flickered with golden light. Under the Abyssal Eye, nothing could hide. The opponent’s speed appeared extremely slow in his eyes, allowing Lin Chen to easily dodge the attack.
Slash—
However, just as Lin Chen thought he had dodged the attack, Hei Huo slashed again, striking Lin Chen on the chest.
"Your reflexes are good, but as I said, the gap between us can’t be bridged by any cultivation technique or talent."
Hei Huo’s Demon Sword slashed at Lin Chen’s body, the chilling, bone-piercing killing intent trying to penetrate Lin Chen’s body.
"Is that so?"
Even though Lin Chen was slashed, he remained nonchalant, a faint smile playing on his lips.
In the next moment, Hei Huo immediately understood why Lin Chen was acting so arrogantly.
Because, although he had slashed Lin Chen, it had only left a small wound on Lin Chen’s body. Within two blinks of an eye, the small wound on Lin Chen had healed completely.
"How is this possible?!"
This time, not only Hei Huo but also Hei Yan and Hei Yen were utterly shocked.
A mere martial artist at the Seventh Level of the Nirvana Realm, yet his physical body was strong to such an extent?
Lin Chen’s physical strength had practically reached the level of an Early Stage Seventh Rank magic treasure. Their attacks couldn’t harm him at all.
Though under the protection of the Purple Scale Demon Armor, Hei Huo also had near invincible defense, Lin Chen couldn’t hurt him, but Hei Huo couldn’t maintain this cultivation technique indefinitely.
Clang—
Lin Chen’s sword fell, striking Hei Huo, yet it also failed to harm him.
Thus, the two of them completely disregarded dodging and defense, not even resorting to martial arts skills, but merely using their weapons to hack at each other without defense.
Clang, clang, clang—
The sounds of swords and bodies clashing echoed continuously.
Their way of fighting left Hei Yan and Hei Yen utterly dumbfounded.
In the distance, Fu Yi and Zhang Hongying watched the two maniacs fight, and they too were utterly shocked.
Zhang Hongying never expected Lin Chen’s combat power and physical toughness to be so astonishing.
It’s been less than half a year since the last time at the Second Layer Relic, yet Lin Chen had grown to this extent.
If given more time, what heights would Lin Chen reach?
No wonder the people from Black Yan Hall wanted to assassinate Lin Chen; such a heavenly pride developing would be Black Yan Hall’s nightmare.
At this moment, Zhang Hongying secretly made up his mind that no matter what, even if it cost his life, he must ensure Lin Chen’s escape.
Meanwhile, Fu Yi was also secretly relieved, thankful that he had chosen Zhang Hongying as his opponent. If it were Lin Chen, the battle’s outcome would be uncertain now.
"This kid is odd; let’s help Fu Yi take care of that woman first, then assist Hei Huo."
The other two seemed to consider Hei Huo their leader, and after a brief discussion, they flew towards Fu Yi, intending to help him against Zhang Hongying.
"Ha, so you’re resorting to ganging up, huh."
Lin Chen watched Hei Yen and Hei Yan’s actions, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
In the next moment, Lin Chen’s movement technique speed surged, transforming into a purple bolt of lightning, flashing past Hei Yen and Hei Yan.
Buzz—
The two clutched their throats, staring at Lin Chen in disbelief, having just seen a flash of sword light.
Before long, darkness engulfed them, and Hei Yan and Hei Yen plummeted like dead dogs into the mire, their life force vanishing in an instant.
Lin Chen looked at the two corpses, a cold smile on his lips.
Fortunately, not all members of the Black Yan Hall could wield the Purple Scale Demon Armor, nor did they all possess defensive powerful magic treasures.
Thus, the two couldn’t react or unleash their magic treasures before Lin Chen killed them with one stroke of his sword.
Even in death, the two couldn’t believe that Lin Chen, while fighting Hei Huo, still found the opportunity to kill them.
"You... bastard, you bastard!"
Watching Lin Chen kill his two companions, Hei Huo’s fury reached its peak; Lin Chen was fighting him, yet brazenly killed his companions before his eyes—it was a grave insult to him.
"Kid, die, you must die!"
"To die under such an exotic treasure, you should feel honored."
Staring at Lin Chen, Hei Huo held nothing back this time, immediately using some magic treasure to conjure a black flash, throwing it like a silver needle towards Lin Chen’s head.
The black flash sped incredibly fast, reaching Lin Chen in the blink of an eye. Lin Chen, with no time to think, immediately activated a talisman inscription, transforming it into four light shields to protect himself.
However, the black flash proved to be overwhelmingly powerful, shattering Lin Chen’s four defensive light shields in an instant.
